Directions

  1. 1

    Grease the casserole dish. Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Put approx. 150 ml milk into a bowl. Roughly pluck the bread and soak in the milk. Peel onions and garlic.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the onions. Finely chop the garlic. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Stir-fry for 5-8 minutes until crumbly brown. Season well with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. Pour into a large bowl and let it cool down briefly.

  3. 3

    Season minced meat with 1-2 tbsp. turmeric and 1-2 tbsp. curry. Peel ginger and grate finely. Peel and quarter the apple, remove the core and grate the quarters finely. Remove bread from the milk, squeeze out well.

  4. 4

    Collect the milk and finely rip the bread. Add ginger, apple, bread, 1 tbsp. raisins, jam, chutney and almonds to the mince. Mix everything well. Season again with salt, turmeric and curry.

  5. 5

    Whisk eggs, collected bread milk, 150 ml milk and cream in a bowl with a fork. Season with salt, 1⁄4 TL nutmeg and pepper. Put the minced meat mixture into the casserole dish and smooth it down with a tablespoon.

  6. 6

    Cover with bay leaves, then pour evenly with egg milk. Bake the casserole in a hot oven for about 35 minutes. Cover with aluminium foil after about 20 minutes, otherwise the bobotie will be too dark.
